= Ai Taniguchi
{c}
<Ai Taniguchi> is a <linguist> specializing in <formal semantics> and <pragmatics>. Her University of Toronto Mississauga profile describes research on kinds of meaning beyond an utterance's literal main assertion, including social meaning and how context changes interpretation.<Ai Taniguchi in the University of Toronto Mississauga directory>[research biography and Areas of Teaching and Research Interests]{ref}
This distinguishes what a sentence directly asserts from information conveyed through its use and context. Formal models make those proposed differences explicit enough to compare against linguistic examples. She is a coauthor of <Essentials of Linguistics (2nd edition) by Catherine Anderson and others> and uses comics and visual art for public communication about <linguistics>, as documented in the same institutional profile.
